June 19 and 20 became landmark days for the southern region of Kazakhstan. The AqylTech / IT-AIEL project conducted a series of powerful offline workshops, bringing together more than 120 participants in Shymkent and Turkestan!
These were two days filled with insights, practical knowledge, and the energy of change. We saw hundreds of glowing eyes – youth, young women, and mothers ready to master technology, manage finances, and confidently enter the spheres of IT and business.
What did we talk about?
The workshop program was designed to be as practical as possible:
-
AI in Finance: How neural networks help effectively manage the family budget.
-
Business from Scratch: Which metrics are vital to track at the start to avoid failure.
-
The Path to IT: How to find your place in technology, even without being a “techie.”
-
Digital Sales: How to use Artificial Intelligence for social media management and sales growth.
-
Legal Literacy: How to work with AI while respecting privacy norms and legal rights.
One of the most vibrant moments was the game “Family Startup.” Under the guidance of experts, participants practiced turning everyday ideas into potentially profitable business projects!
